Beyond Glory

Isaiah 40:28 — Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

Here I am,

placed between

the wondrous unknown

of Your sovereignty

and the sobering reality

of my human inability.

To my left

I see the limits of my flesh,

the trajectory of my bones.

To the right

I see the limitlessness of eternity,

the trajectory of my soul.

Here I am

in the middle

knowing that You are my only hope,

glad that You are my only hope.

Here I am

in the middle

knowing that I am not able,

glad that I am not able.

If I was anywhere else,

I would be

in the wrong place.

Now

I see You,

I know You,

I know just how

unfathomable

You are,

and my soul rejoices.

Amen.
